mk3 Xenon headlight - eventually change it to halogen?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

I am owner of Ford focus mk3 2011 with xenon headlights.

My nearside headlight glass got broken as my partner had accident. I really did not know how expensive it can be!

So far I have used plastic film that cover its as all works fine but glass is broken only.

Official ford shop can sell me that for £1200 but it is so expensive so I am looking for part on used market but so far I could not find it. Part code is bm51-13d155-bg .

 

It has been 6 months since accident and we are planning drive to Poland in 7 weeks time so I am a bit in hurry to sort this out. 

 

Is it any problem If I would - In case I do not find this part - change both headlights to halogen as it is so easy to get on used market for less cheaper then one xenon from Ford?

 

I am not aware of UK law so I do not know if this is legal at all.

 

Kind regards,

Patryk

Not an easy thing to do and the car will fail the UK annual MOT.

You can use part number bm51-13d155-bX

X = g, h, j, k, l, m, n.

This is a bm51-13d155-bj (used and with a damaged fixing)

Hi,

Thank you.

 

You answered my question about law so I know there is no point of buying halogen then.

 

What are differences with that last letter? Or all of them will be exact the same headlight?

Last letter is just the revision of the part. Think of it like a date code, but remember you can only use parts that are either the same or newer than the original. Older parts may not be backwards compatible.
